Wizard Earl

Most importantly, the higher-ups had already expressed dissatisfaction with the recent actions of the Black Organization and its intelligence director, Christant, and even wanted to transfer Lena from the Church of Rune Storm's intelligence department to become Christant's deputy in the Black Organization. The warning to Christant himself was quite obvious. Under such circumstances, if Christant were to resort to underhanded tricks or cause trouble behind the scenes, then without a doubt, while Elena would be unlucky, Christant would undoubtedly be even more unlucky than Elena!

There is even a risk that Christant might be forced to resign, since the trust in his abilities has been shaken. In addition, Christant has offended many people during his years as Black's intelligence director. As the saying goes, when a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. Therefore, even if Archbishop Hummels, who is behind him, wants to stand up for Christant, he may not be able to do so.

Now that Christant no longer has the protection of his position as Director of Intelligence, his enemies both inside and outside the Church of Storms will have an opportunity to deal with him. Whether Christant and his family will have a peaceful end is now an unknown quantity that no one knows for sure...

Furthermore, even if Christant were insane and wanted to use such tactics to help Hummels deal with Elena, Cardinal Hummels, who was behind him, would probably not support Christant's idea. The position of Director of Intelligence, Black, was a very sensitive and important position in the Church of Storms, although it had not yet entered the center of power. If someone like Christant, who supported him, sat in this position, it would definitely be a great help to Hummels.

Given Hummels and Elena's current strength and the power dynamics within the Storm Church, even if Hummels truly felt threatened by Elena, he could easily have used other methods to deal with her. There was no need to sacrifice Christant, an important ally, and engage in a mutually destructive conflict with Elena. After all, while Elena's opponent within the Church is Hummels, Hummels's opponents within the Storm Church are not limited to Elena.

Having figured this out, Elena still maintained a serious expression, but she no longer had any doubts about Christant.

Seeing that Elena remained silent, Christant continued, "A group of unidentified and powerful mysterious individuals suddenly attacked the No. 3 secret warehouse. The security personnel responsible for the warehouse were caught off guard. Although they had followed security procedures, they still suffered heavy losses and lost the outer area of ​​the No. 3 secret warehouse. The remaining personnel have gathered in the core area for a desperate fight."

"The guards at Secret Warehouse No. 3 include members of my Black Organization. Before they issued any warnings, my people should have relayed the situation of Secret Warehouse No. 3 to me through special channels."

"I received the message ten minutes ago. Judging from the description, the other side came prepared. All the guards at Warehouse No. 3 should be dead. Warehouse No. 3 and the batch of seafood stored there have all fallen into the hands of that mysterious group. So please, Lady Elena, do not send any more people to Warehouse No. 3..."

Although Elena had just heard from Giovanni that the Third Secret Warehouse had issued an early warning, and was somewhat prepared for the outcome that all the guards on duty at the Third Secret Warehouse had died and that the batch of seafood in the warehouse had fallen into the hands of others, she still held onto a sliver of hope, praying to the Storm Goddess for a miracle. But now, with Christant's admission, Elena's last glimmer of hope was undoubtedly shattered.

After careful consideration, Elena realized the deeper meaning behind Christant's decision not to let her send anyone to Secret Warehouse Number Three. Her expression changed, and she tentatively asked Christant, "Are you worried that the people who attacked Secret Warehouse Number Three are trying to lure us away?"

"The attack on Secret Warehouse No. 3 was a sudden incident. It happened so fast. Before this, my informants in the Secret Society and other dark wizard organizations had not received any relevant information. The Eye of the Storm device we set up in Frosinone also did not detect anything suspicious."

"So I still can't be sure who attacked Secret Warehouse No. 3, or what their purpose was—the seafood inside, or something else. In any case, it's best to be cautious. The attack on Secret Warehouse No. 3 is a fait accompli and cannot be changed, but we cannot afford any further losses..." Christant said in a deep voice.

Although Christant's tone and voice sounded no different from usual, Elena could sense his deep weariness and helplessness. Clearly, for the head of the Storm Church's intelligence network, being in a position of crisis and then being attacked without warning was a profound blow, causing him considerable frustration.

"In Frosinone, who else besides the Secret Society and Reyes would have the guts and ability to attack Secret Warehouse No. 3?" Elena said with a sneer.

"It's not yet certain whether Reyes and the Secret Society were behind this. According to information from my subordinates at Secret Warehouse No. 3, the attackers, while well-trained and powerful, were led by only one Level 1 Wizard; the others were only at the level of Wizard Apprentices!"

"After receiving instructions from above regarding the Frosinone incident, our Black Organization has attached great importance to it. We began planning a year ago, activating our informants within the Secret Society and other dark wizarding organizations connected to it to monitor the Secret Society's movements."

"Based on the feedback we've received from various channels, it's certain that Reyes has mobilized personnel to work in Frosinone. However, the people he's mobilized, primarily formal wizards like Bispin and Southgate, haven't been found to have sent any wizard apprentices to Frosinone based on the information we've gathered so far!" Christant reported to Elena in a deep voice.
